Sum of the Shade
(Eingestellt am 26. Mai 2024, 01:38 Uhr von randall)
Thanks to @XeonRisq for letting me bounce ideas around, and helping me put this one together. Thanks to @Crusader175 and @chilly for the test solves.
Enjoy!
Rules
- Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 exactly once in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
- Yin Yang. Shade some cells such that all shaded cells in the grid form a single orthogonally connected region and all unshaded cells also form a single orthogonally connected region. No 2x2 region may be fully shaded or unshaded.
- Circles: Numbers in circles are the sum of the digits within shaded cells that touch the circle. Only shaded cells count toward the total.

Great fun puzzle. To me: At start there is a 4 star ramp. After that it is more 2 star. Enjoyed it. Thx.

Absolutely gorgeous puzzle, this is immediately one of my favorites. Beautifully designed! The interactions between the yin yang and the circle sums are so elegant, you constantly need to work back and forth between the two right to the end. Loved it!
